Sonic Resonator

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Equip to quick-access toolbelt. Aim at target - such as a resource deposit or attacking predator - and depress trigger to charge a sonic pulse. Release to emit pulse. Against solid crystalline objects, release the pulse when the reticle closes to shatter. Valid targets trigger an icon in your HUD, prompting you to equip and use the resonator. Common targets include large resource deposits and viral crystals. This is not an approved Alterra product. This PDA cannot offer guarantees of performance or safety. Replace battery when depleted. BACKGROUND The Sonic Resonator is a modified propulsion/repulsion cannon chassis carrying a phased-array sonar. The sonar's electronic and mechanical principles are simple and easily fabricated, but distinct from any known design pattern. Either the sonar was invented from first principles by a particularly brilliant colonist, or it was derived from nonhuman technology. The resonator is generally nonlethal. Its pulse may deter attackers, but will not cause long term harm unless the attacker is a solid crystalline object. The exception is biomass infected by bloom virus, which the resonator is tuned to destroy. Speculative development suggests several possible improvements to this device, perhaps culminating in a saser (an acoustic laser). Do not discharge towards other colonists. Hearing protection recommended for prolonged use.
